1.

On the outside of the anterior two thirds of the head is a thick cap called the acrosome that
is formed mainly from the mitochondria.

2. In the absence of Growth hormone, as in pituitary dwarfs, spermatogenesis is severely

deficient or absent, thus causing infertility.

3. A slightly alkaline characteristic of the prostatic fluid may be quite important for
successful fertilization of the ovum because the fluid of the vas deferens is relatively acidic.

4. Sperm maturation occurs when they removed from the seminiferous tubules and from the
early portions of the epididymis.

5. After the first sperm penetrates the zona pellucida of the ovum, potassium ions diffuse
inward through the oocyte membrane and cause multiple cortical granules to be released by
exocytosis

6. most of the lubrication of coitus is provided by the female sexual organs rather than by the
male organs.

7. Much of the testosterone that becomes fixed to the tissues is converted within the tissue
cells to dehydroepyandrosterone and androsterone, especially in certain target organs.

8. Testosterone secreted by the testes or injected into the body causes hypertrophy of the
laryngeal mucosa and enlargement of the larynx.

9. A man who does not have functional testes does not become bald

10. when the ovary releases the ovum and if the ovum is fertilized, the final meiosis occurs.

11. The stimulatory effects of FSH and LH result from activation of the cyclic guanosine
monophosphate second messenger system in the cell cytoplasm.

12. Throughout childhood, the theca cells are believed to provide nourishment for the ovum
and to secrete an oocyte maturation inhibiting factor that keeps the ovum suspended in its
primordial state.

13. the early growth of the primary follicle up to the antral stage is stimulated mainly by
estrogen.

14. because the theca cells lack aromatase, they cannot convert androgens to estrogens.

15. the diminishing liver function can increase the activity of estrogen in the body and
causing hyperestrinism.

16. the mean PO2 in the fetal blood after it becomes oxygenated in the placenta is the same as
in adult.

17. Spontaneous abortion can occur if the corpus luteum is removed before approximately the
seventh week of pregnancy.
18. Progesteron and estrogen are essential for the physical development of the breasts during
pregnancy and promotes milk secretion.

19. The human heart begins beating during the fourth week after fertilization, contracting at a
rate of about 65 beats/min.

20. The newborn infants mainly use glucose for energy.

21. Both progesterone and estrogen are secreted in progressively greater quantities
throughout most of pregnancy, but from the seventh month onward, estrogen secretion
continues to decrease.

22. During the last 3 to 4 months of pregnancy, the respiratory movements of the fetus are
mainly inhibited.

23. At birth, the walls of the alveoli are at first collapsed because of the surface tension of the
viscid fluid that fills them.

24. Administration of the drug indomethacin, which blocks synthesis of prostaglandins, often
leads to closure.

25. Secretion of pancreatic amylase in the neonate is high, so the neonate uses starches more
adequately than do older children.
